A little bit about me

From November 2005 until October 2006 I'll be backpacking through Canada so I don't think my fics will be updated frequently...

Okay I think this biography needs more than a few quotes, so I might actually even tell something about myself. First some general blabber.

I'm 21 years-old, live in the Netherlands and just graduated from my study Journalism (July 2005). My dream is writing movie reviews, travel reports and childrens books (I know all very different, but hey I like variation).

What else to say? Hmmm dunno at the moment, might add some stuff later on ;)

About my fanfics

I only pretty recently discovered the joy of writing fanfics (I think it was December last year, so 2004 :p) but it got me hooked. I started off with Charmed since I also partcipate in RPG's based on that show (for about half a year now). But I don't write only Charmed related fics. I write about a tv-show that has got me hooked/obsessed at a specific moment, and usually it's one character in particular that intrigues me and inspires me for a fic. I used to update all the fics I write at the same time, like every other day, but due to serious lack of time it's reduced to once a week, sometimes more, sometimes less, but hey I do my best.

O, and know I very much appreciate reviews & well argumented critism. So read and review hehehe
